Black bean chocolate chip cookies- Gluten Free

Quite possibly the best black bean chocolate chip cookies you will ever taste.

What can I say about these Black bean chocolate chip cookies? OMG…These are soft, taste like chocolate and are just awesome. I was really skeptical but I am super glad I got to make them.

Who knew you could use black beans and make cookies? This is just genius. For sure, this is not the last time I going to make these cookies. Maybe next time I will add some cherries or nuts, will see.

I hope you make these Black bean chocolate chip cookies. Let me know if you do.

On another note, I live in NJ and was here when Sandy hit. Fortunately enough we did not get any flooding or lost power. We are not only lucky but are grateful to have made it out OK. Our hearts go out to the people of NY and NJ that have been affected.

Enjoy!!

On the left picture you can see the ingredients right before being blended. The right picture is the mousse consistency result. After most of the ingredients are well incorporated and blended add the chia seeds and chocolate chips and with a spatula mix them into the batter.

With a spoon, or your finger, flatten the cookies on the cookie sheet before placing them in the oven, just like in the left picture.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lined two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

In a food processor add all the ingredients except chocolate chips and chia seeds. Blend until smooth. The batter should be similar to a thick mousse. Add chocolate chips and chia seeds and incorporate into the batter (don't use the food processor for this though)

Using a spoon or cookie scoop place 16 dollops of batter on the cookie sheets. Use a spoon to flatten the cookies into round shapes like in the pictures.

Bake for 20 minutes (they should still be a little soft when you remove them from the oven). Set a side a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Oh my! I was so excited to find your blog today! Thank you for such a yummy, gluten free cookie recipe! I am brand new to the blogging world, and always searching for GF recipes to try.

thanks for your concern. We are super lucky because none of my friends have electricity and they have been like that since the storm. It is getting bad because people are fighting at the pumps for gas and the supply is low. I just don’t know how much longer they can sustain this.

The cookies are awesome. I am going to make another version soon and include it in the e-book, I am so excited!!

You are very fortunate you didn’t lose power.. so many folks in the area did and all my family did, including myself. LUCKY LUCKY! :) And on another note, your cookies look amazing. I have yet to bake wtih black beans and all.. I just need a large crowd to feed else I’ll end up eating them all.

I made these today, but only used 1/4 cup honey instead of the sugar and they were SO GOOD!!! I had to lick the spoon several times after spooning dollops onto the baking sheet. Thanks for the awesome recipe!

I’m so intrigued by these! I just wonder, how many cookies are in a serving? I know the facts are calculated as if you made 16 cookies but the big kicker is how many cookies you can have for that caloric price :) Also, any suggestions for a substitute for Buckwheat flour? I’m not sure I’ll be able to find some. I have flaxseed meal. Would that work?

Seeing this recipe was like a dare, had to do it! They are delicious! My husband thought they tasted a bit ‘healthy,’ and my son said, ‘definitely “gluten-free,” a bit green beany, but yummy!’ Everyone is eating them with gusto, even hubby wants more. I haven’t told them the cookies are mostly black beans, though. That will be fun :) I used oat flour and regular sugar. Thank you so much for sharing this!
